HEAR me when-I | call,

O God-of my righteousness:

Thou hast enlarged me when I was | in-distress; Have mercy up on me,-and | hear-my | prayer.

O ye sons- -of men,

How long will ye turn my [glo-ry | in-to |

shame ?

How long will ye-love | vanity,

And seek after | leasing. |

But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for him | self:

The Lord will hear when I call-unto | him. Stand in awe-and | sin not:

Commune with your own heart upon your be-d, and-be | still.

Offer the sacrifices of | right-eousness,
And put your trust | in-the | Lord.
There be many-that | say,

Who will show-usa-ny good?

Lord, lift-thou | up

The light of-thy | countenance-upon us.
Thou hast put gladness | in-my heart,
More than in the time that their | corn-and
their wine-increased.

I will both lay me down in | peace-and | sleep: For thou, Lord, only | makest-me | dwell—in | safety.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all-the earth! Who hast set thy glory-above-the heavens. 1 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine | enemies,

That thou mightest still the enemy | and— the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of— thy fingers,

The moon and the stars-which | thou hastordained.

What is man, that thou art | mindful—of | him? And the son of man, that-thou | visit-est | him?

For thou hast made him a little lower thanthe angels,

And hast crowned | him-with | glory-and | honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of-thy | hands;

Thou hast put all-things | under his | feet:

All sheep-and | oxen,

Yea, and the beasts of the field; 1

The fowl of the air, and the | fish of-the sea, And whatsoever passeth | through-the paths of -the seas.

O Lord-our Lord,

How excellent is thy | name-in | all—the | earth!

PRESERVE | me,- O | God:

For in thee-do I

[ocr errors]

put-my | trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art-my Lord :

My goodness ex | tend-eth | not-to | thee;

[ocr errors]

But to the saints that are | in-the earth, And to the excellent, in | whom-is | all-my de light. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another | god:

Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names-in | to my lips.

The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance | and of my cup: 1

Thou mai-n tainest-my | lot.

The lines are fallen unto me in | pleasant | places;

Yea, I have-a | good-ly | heritage.

I will bless the Lord, who hath | given-me | counsel:

My reins also in | struct-me | in the-night |

seasons.

I have set the Lord | always-before me : Because he is at my right | hand,-I shall notbe moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my | glory-re | joiceth:

My flesh also shall rest-in | hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul-in | hell; Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy | One-to see-corruption.

Thou wilt show me the path-of | life:
In thy presence-is | fulness- -of | joy;
At thy-right | hand

There are pleasures-for | ev-er | more.

5.

THE Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to | lie-down | in-green | pastures:

He leadeth me beside the | still | waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteous-ness | for-his | name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the | shadow-of death,

I will fear-no | evil :

For thou-art | with me;

Thy | rod and thy | staff-they | comfort me.

Thou preparest a | table-be | fore me
In the pre-sence | of-mine | enemies :
Thou anointest my head-with | oil;

My cu-p run-neth | over.

Surely goodness-and mercy

Shall follow me | all-the | days of my life: And I will dwell

In the house-of the | Lord-for | ever.

THE heavens declare the glory-of God; And the firmament | showeth-his | han-dy |

work.

Day unto day utter-eth | speech,

And night unto | night | show-eth | knowledge.

There is no speech-nor | language,
Where their voi-ce | is-not | heard.
Their line is gone out through | all-the | earth,
And their words-to the | end of the | world.

In them hath he set a tabernacle | for-the | sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong | man-to |

run-a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the e-nds of it;

And there is nothing | hid-from the | heatthere of.

The law of the Lord is perfect, convertingthe soul:

The testimony of the Lord is sure,-making | wise the simple.

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing -the heart:

The commandment of the Lord is | pure-en | lightening the eyes:
